Gran Fondo Registration

We endeavour to make the GFB the most desirable “bang-for-your-buck” event in the country! How have we done this? We ourselves have swallowed the on-line registration fees which are usually passed on to the participant. What does this mean for you? BIG SAVINGS – you are getting the same great exciting event at the same cost as last year – and if you take advantage of the early bird fee then you are actually paying less than in previous years!

Piccolo – 50 km Route

The new Gran Fondo Badlands ride begins in town, heading along the North Dinosaur Trial right past the Royal Tyrrell Museum to the 100 year old Bleriot ferry, approximately 25 km. Stop at the aid station for refreshments, take in the scenery, enjoy the ferry ride across the Red Deer river (takes about 2 minutes!) pedal up the short but serious hill (12% – make sure you are in your small gear!).

Turn around at the top and follow Highway 10 back to Drumheller which will give you a total riding mileage of approximately 100 miles to the end.
